Advantech Co Ltd

Advantech is a leader in providing trusted, innovative products, services, and solutions. Advantech offers comprehensive system integration, hardware, software, customer-centric design services, embedded systems, and global logistics support. Our mission is to enable an intelligent planet with embedded computing products and solutions that empower the development of smarter working and living. Its Networks and Communications Group (NCG) provides the industry's broadest range of communications infrastructure platforms, scaling from 1 to 100s of Intel cores, consolidating workloads onto a single platform architecture and code base. NCG's technology leadership stems from extensive x86 design expertise combined with high performance switching, acceleration and innovative offload techniques.

Advantech's NFV Elasticity framework helps operators extend NFV from the core to the edge of the network by supporting consistent, scalable carrier-grade platforms running Titanium Server that can reliably execute the same VNFs anywhere in the network

Operators, integrators and software-vendors can rapidly validate solutions on qualified Advantech/Wind River NFVIs and evaluate VNFs on a broad range of networking platforms using Advantech's Remote-Evaluation-Services coupled with Titanium Server. Using Advantech's carrier grade servers for telco datacenter consolidation or network edge expansion, and Advantech's white-box appliances for enterprise vCPE, customers can prepare their next generation product rollouts in locations where commodity data center gear cannot be installed and operated.
The key benefits for customers include:

Flexibility to bring network functions out to the edge of the network or deploy NFVI in existing Points of Presence (PoPs) which cannot be remodeled as data centers.

The combination of a scaleble NFV platform with carrier grade hardware and software features not only helps to implement service elasticity, it also helps to speed up NFV rollouts at almost any location in the network.

A comprehensive remote evaluation service that will help developers get ahead of the technology curve and rapidly evaluate performance of the latest Intel silicon on hardware platforms from Advantech using Wind River Titanium Server.
